Did Ya’ Hear By Mary Craft Business Briefs The venerable Pelican Club, located on the water in Port Aransas, is closing its doors after twelve years. The restaurant has been a landmark in the Port Aransas culinary array since owner Guy D. Carnathan moved his operation from Beulah’s Restaurant at the Tarpon Inn to the rented property in 2002. “We have cleared out at our current location while we are getting rejuvenated,” said Carnathan, who has been in the restaurant business in Port Aransas for twenty three years. He said his next step will be to take a trip across the country and look at new ideas for his next operation. He also owns the property which houses Liberty Hall at the corner of Cotter and Alister streets. We will certainly miss the Pelican Club but look forward to Guy’s next restaurant.
